Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef. Mix thoroughly using your hands to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fennel seeds, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley to the meat mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, searing them on all sides until they develop a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 6
Transfer the seared meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. These meatballs pair well with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete Paleo meal.
